Sunday Stamper Week 211

This morning started out very grey and quite windy although thankfully dry for the time being but certainly not the sort of day for going out and about so I opted for getting inky fingers.  When I saw the theme for the Sunday Stamper challenge this week which is 'You Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two' I was immediately reminded of a wooden backed stamp made by Rubbadubbadoo which I've had for many years and can't even remember when it was last used. After a short search I managed to unearth it and I've stamped it three times so that I could cut out the pocket details and add some tickets which are Creative Expressions stamps.  The background is a piece of Tim Holtz  Kraft Resist paper overstamped with a selection of Paper Artsy stamps which came free with a subscription to Craft Stamper - again a few years ago. Do go and take a look at the great project by Hels which has many more pockets and lots of interest.  I have a couple of male birthdays coming up next month and I think this will fit the bill for one of them.

  2. Blimey! How quick off the mark are you?! This is so clever and you have combined these images really well. You'd never know that wasn't real denim if you didn't peer closely. Love it, hugs Buttons x

  4. Superb contrast with the denim & kraft - very real in appearance & I love the effect of your tickets poking out.
    It turned out quite sunny this aftenoon so the tourists are out & about in the Beacons.
